Properties of Pasteurella multocida isolated from animals during the seasonal migration of saigas.

The paper describes data from the study of cultural, morphological, and biochemical properties and the pathogenicity and virulence of epizootic isolates of Pasteurella multocida obtained from cattle and saigas. The study aimed to investigate the properties of P. multocida isolated from saigas and cattle during their seasonal migration, with a focus on its role in the epizootic process and potential transmission to farm animals.

Surgical treatment of severe laryngomalacia: Six month follow up.

Background: Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common congenital anomaly of larynx that causes stridor in children. We evaluated the efficacy of epiglottic suture and laser epiglottopexy for treatment of infants with severe LM.

Methods: Surgical intervention was performed in 19 patients with severe LM, after the diagnosis was established using flexible laryngotracheobronchoscopy.

[Prednisone therapy in patients with pernicious anemia (report of 2 cases)].

The effects of Prednisone therapy at two patients with pernicious anemia were studied on haematologic response, gastric secretion and gastric mucosal hystology. The treatment resulted in each case in correctin of the megaloblastic to normoblastic erythropoesis, and increse in reticulocytes, hemoglobin level and red cell count. Schilling-s test was normalised in one case that means that Prednison enchanced B12 absorption.

Chromosome changes in patients treated with "Myleran".

The aim of this study is the determination of chromosomal changes in patients suffering from chronic leucosis, after therapy with the cytostatic "Myleran", to find out whether this cytostatic causes them, because of clinical experience which indicates its value in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. Patients were treated with therapeutic doses of 4 mg per os daily. Analysis with present methods in patients receiving relatively small total doses did not discover the other visible chromosomal aberrations in leucocytes in peripheral blood, except the usual aberrations caused by chronic leucosis.

[Case of implantation of human fetal thymus on the immunological reactivity in patients with Hodgkin's disease].
